Zach got his start at Random Farms when he was 5 years old. "I will always remember Zach Unger playing Johnny Casino in 'Grease,'" Anya Wallach, the founder of Random Farms, said. "He had so much stage presence and so much charisma even though he had never been on a stage and he was five years old." He is pictured here performing in that role.

"[Being] in front of an audience feels really good," said Zach of his experience in "Chaplin" on Broadway. "To have people [applaud] for you the first time feels really great."
